How to assign value1 to value2 in post request?

Question

How do you assign value1 to value2 in post request?

For example:

www.site.com/index.php?value1=10&value2=value1&value3=value2+1

How do you make value2 = value1 in the URL?

Answer 1

URL is just raw-text, so you need to either:

• Use JavaScript to get what value1 is currently, then set value2 to be same, with jQuery it's something like:

$("#myFormId").submit(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  var $form = $(this);

  // Finds URL using form's action attribute.
  var url = $form.attr('action');

  // You may change this part.
  var value1 = $('#myFirstField').val();
  var value2 = value1;
  var data = {
    value1: value1,
    value2: value2,
  };

  // Sends the request.
  var listener = $.post(url, data);
  // Handles the response.
  listener.done(function(data) {
    console.log('success', data);
  });
  listener.fail(function() {
    console.log('failed');
  });
});

• Or, simply remove value2 from URL, if it's always equal to value1, then use PHP to do set value2 parameter (something like $value2 = $value1; or whatever your API to change URL-param needs).
